Some time back I noticed a couloured bakelite light on ebay, and inspite of some surprisingly fierce competition, purchased it. Funnily enough, a couple of days later, listings appeared for bakelite coloured lights with surprisingly high reserves. So I decided to investigate... it's at http://membres.lycos.fr/partspeekers/ http://membres.lycos.fr/partspeekers/ , bottomost link left of page.

I've never sen a bakelite bicycle light before, and this one looks a bit like a one off, the reflector is a hand cut, there is no brand.. Does anyone know about these things, whether they never caught on, or whether more likely they all fell off ?
